I had a look, I will apply the patch when I find a free moment.

2 small remarks:

1. When coding changes, please try to observe the style used.

for instance
   if .. then begin
   end
is simply not done, this is not C. Begin is always on a new line.

2. Try to separate things. You coded a change in package selection handling, 
please don't mix this with the change for writing a package file. 
It makes it more difficult to debug when bugs arise.

Why not ?

Feel free to discuss.
